Prepare to be drawn in and bowled over. With four studio albums, a live album, double platinum sales and a Meteor Music Award under her belt, Juliet Turner plays for one night only at the Mall Arts Centre on  Saturday April 24th, 2010 at 8pm!

Turner’s live shows should be experienced. She is a quiet, relaxed performer with a wicked sense of humour. Her voice is unusually clear and sweet and her between song anecdotes are amusing, eccentric and off-the-cuff.

Currently Juliet is studying for a degree in Clinical Speech and Language Studies at Trinity College Dublin, but combines this with an on-going schedule of gigs to support her 5th  album “People Have Names”.

The slow pace of recording and the change of scenery from tour bus to lecture hall seemed to invigorate Turner and the album was a combination of beautiful, intelligent songwriting and subtle musicianship.

Originally from Tummery, near Omagh, Juliet is described by the Irish Times as ‘one of the most intriguing of Irish female song writers, arriving several years ago with a guitar and a batch of brittle, poignant songs; her broad accent and even broader outlook; her bitter-sweet tastes all marking her as one to watch’, this new album showed an exploratory and unsentimental side to Turner’s song writing.

The new batch of songs are thoughtful and less acerbic than some of her previous writing and the narrative lines running through the album are sympathetic and full of warmth. The release of new material seems to fall in a four year cycle and this new album, released in June 2008, was eagerly anticipated. It did not seem to disappoint, being her most critically acclaimed album to date.

On stage with long time guitarist Brian Grace, Juliet Turner has a wry charm, a beautiful voice and fine lyrics, making her a compelling and witty live performer.
